Cardano has become a prominent coin in the crypto-sphere and is the largest threat to Ethereum. Its platform use case bears a lot of potential, which became particularly apparent after the introduction of the Marlowe application.

In order to execute financial contracts, the Marlowe application targets the financial sector, which is akin to Peyton Jones. Currently, Ethereum dominates in escrow services but Marlowe provides a better value proposition compared to it.

The stable coin will adjust its supply according to market shifts, so as to maintain the price of a fiat currency.

Cardano has struggled recently despite the buzz that it is ready to take up Ethereum.  The platform itself is very promising: it aims to become a scalable and secure smart contracts solution.  Some of its prominent features include a working paper wallet and a proof-of-stake algorithm (Ouroboros is the first verified and secure proof-of-stake algorithm).

A short-term rise in Cardano's price is likely to occur if it gets listed on Coinbase. The creators of Cardano are very ambitious, intending to make an impact in every sphere of the global economy.

Litecoin is becoming an alternative for Bitcoin, as it increasingly serves as a transaction medium for many businesses. The Litecoin Foundation has succeeded in convincing various high-level merchants to accept LTC as a payment method.

The development of Flexa can further accelerate this. Flexa is a one-tap payment method for execution of microtransactions, so users won't have to route payments through banks or card providers. It has good security features and thus users won't have to worry about protecting their private keys.
